eEye Digital Security, the industry’s leading innovator of threat management solutions, is teaming with 451 Research to co-host a free webinar on February 23, 2012, to help security professionals and IT administrators manage their “big data” to make better informed business decisions.

The webinar, “Turning Your Big Security Data into a Big Advantage,” featuring Andrew Hay of 451 Research, will discuss the value of using various types of security data — vulnerability, attack, exploit, configuration, compliance, mitigation, etc. — to make more informed decisions about how to protect the network.

“While many tools collect data from the network and security environment, few help users make sense of it,” said Mike Puterbaugh, vice president of marketing, eEye Digital Security.

“With the insight of 451 Research, we can help the security and IT community understand not only all the data coming at them, but what can be done with it to improve their security postures and better manage their businesses.”

The hour-long session will offer examples of big data collected in the enterprise and how to identify what information is valuable and actionable; a discussion of what traditional SIM/SEIM tools can and can’t do with big data, and what decisions can be impacted throughout the enterprise by using big data, with an emphasis on internal and external compliance requirements.
